Discovered by Antoine J. Balard in 1826
Named after the Greek word for stench, Bromos
In the Halogen Family
Used for purifying water
Most commonly reacts with Hydrogen
Compounds: Aluminum Bromide and Boron Tribromide
Bromine can be used for purifying/disinfecting water. Bromine is better to use than Chlorine when sanitizing
swimming pools and hottubs. Bromine is good for sanitizing hottubs because it is still stable in warm temperatures.
Bromine is good for sanitizing swimming pools because when it combines with bateria it neutralizes it and most of it is
still active enough to neutralize more bacteria unlike Chlorine.
